mocmea ancnrmcnn Application filed July 81, 1928. Serial No. 654,907.

Patent No. 1,180,957, granted to C. M. Tannbaum andC. J. McDaniel, April 25, 1916. It is oneof the objects of the invention to provide a-new and improved method of securing a mucilage spreader to the open end of a mucilage receptacle.

It is a further object of the invention to construct a means for holding the mucilage receptacle when not in use in, such a manner that although the mucilage spreader en-- gages the bottom wall of the holder, the same will not adhere thereto.

With the above and other objects in View, reference is had to the accompanying drawin J in which-'- igure 1 is a view in elevation partly in section of a mucilage receptacle and holder constructed in accordance with the present invention;

Fig. 2 is a detail sectional view of the dis charge end of the mucilage holder, showing the construction of the spreader and its retaining means;

Fig. 3 is a bottom plan view of the spreader, the same being partly broken away in order to more clearly disclose the construction thereof;

Fi 4 is a detail sectional view on a reduce scale of a modified form of the invention. 7

Referring more particularly to the drawings, the reference character 5 designates a mucilage receptacle, and said mucilage receptacl has one of its ends rounded as at 6. The posite end of the receptacle is forme with a neckportion 7, provided on its outer face with an annular channel or groove 8.

The reference character 9 designates a metallic plate adapted to rest upon the open .end of the receptacle, and said plate is provided with a plurality of perforations, 1.0. Mounted on the metallic plate 9, is a rest upon t pad 13, formed of cork or other suitable material. The pad 13 has an annular flange 14: defining its 1peripheral ed 'e, and adapted to' e metallic plate 9. This ad 13 is provided with a plurality of openings or perforations 15 adapted to register with the openings 10 in the metallic plate 9.

The reference character 16 designates a spreading element, preferably formed of cloth and so shaped that its peripheral edge overlies the flanged portion 14 of the pad 13. The material of the spreading element 16 is such as to permit of the ready flow of mucilage therethrough in order to facilitate the spreading of the mucilage.

The annular ring 17 is provided with an inwardly turned flanged portion 18 adapted to overlie the flanged portion 14 of the pad 13. The ring 17 is adapted to be pressed inwardly of the annular channel or groove 8 in the neck 7, of the receptacle, as designated at 19. V

By this construction it is apparent that when the metallic supporting plate 9, the

pad 13, and the spreader 16 are positioned together upon the open end of the neck 7 of the receptacle 5, the ring 17 is then slipped over the neck 7 of the receptacle and its portion 19 isv snapped into the annular channel or groove 8, and the supporting plate 9, pad 13, and spreading element 16 will be maintained in operative position upon the open end of the neck 7.

Referring'to Fig. 1, the reference numeral 20 designates .-a V holder, and such holder is provided with an open end, the face of which .is curved as shown at 21, to conform to thecurvature of. the neck 7 of the receptacle 5. Mounted in the bottom wall of theholder 20, is a layer or the like of wax 21 which layer of wax is adapted to prevent adhering of the spreading element 16 to the bottom of the holder, thus rendering the holder capable of removal at all times.

In the modified form of the invention shown in Fig. 4, the reference character 22 designates the neck of the receptacle, and said neck is formed with an external thread 23. In this form of the invention, an an- I nular rin -like member 24 is employed, said member eing formed with an internal thread 25 ada ted to receive the external thread 23 of e neck 22 to secure the several parts in position. In this form of the invention the spreading element is shown only in elevation and the same is designated by the reference character 26.

From the foregoing it is apparent that the present invention provides a new and improved mucilage receptacle and holder therefor, which mucilage receptacle is of a construction permitting feeding of the mucilage therefromand spreading it upon a device to receive the same, and the holder provides means for supporting the mucilage receptacle in such position that it is always ready for use without danger of the mucilage receptacle adhering to said holder.

What is claimed is:

1. Ina device of the class described, a receptacle having a neck provided with an annular groove adjacent its open end, a perforated supporting member closing said open end, a flanged perforated pad member carried by said supporting member, a spreading element, and a ring having a flanged portion adapted to overlie the flanged portion of the pad for securing the spreading element in place upon the pad and for securing the pad and the supporting member in place upon the receptacle neck, and a second flanged portion formed bottom wall, said open end being-adapted to receive the mucilage receptacle with its discharge end in engagement with the bottom wall, and a layer of wax in the bottom wall of said holder. said Wax serving to I prevent adhering of the discharge end of the mucilage bottle to the bottom wall of the holder.

3. A mucilage receptacle comprising a body portion having an open end neck formed with an annular channel on its exterior surface, a perforated supporting member, a perforated pad member, and a spreading element, and a metallic ring member having interengagement with the neck of the receptacle and having a threaded portion adapted to overlie the pad member, said flanged portion serving to secure the spread-- ing element to the pad member and the pad member and supporting member to the neck of the receptacle.
